I agree .. the show would be lacking villians if they removed Nina.. & the actress is doing a gr8 job on her character.. she does look & acts like an uptupi, "high-class",snotty, woman..... Nina does not want Kripa for angad, because: 1) it probably reminds her from where they came from & she would rather forget, 2) she feels uncomfortable of being gr8ful to Kripa's family as they have reached the current position in life because of help from Kripas' parents-- and her ego cannot handle it; 3)she may be afraid Kripa may become more popular than Angad & does not want amy competition for her son, 4) she wants someone w/ "staus" & "$$" for her daughter-in-law and is afraid her son will get involved with someone who does not have those qualities.. I don't think Nina is completely EVIL😈, if she was she would have ruined Kripa's name and made sure Prithvi does not get engaged to Kripa.. I think Anithhhhhha's character is lot more EVIL..
